Allardyce has got his work cut out if he wants the job on a longer basis as our season is over, the players know it and our results for the rest of the season will be all over the place.

We'll be ok at home as the crowd will demand effort but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't win again away from home this season.

No chance is he here next season, be willing to put my house on it.

I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again.

He did not sign shite players like Gueye who either continually pass backwards or to the opposition. He inherited one rookie and one not terribly good out of position fullback. He inherited no creative midfielders, except the largely physically past it and frustrated Rooney and he inherited no goalscorers. A tall order for anyone. Yes we have a shite squad and he took the job on, but get things into perspective. The Turk looks good, pity about the rest. We should still stay up with a bit of luck and two more signings. Coleman back by March, and maybe Baines? Guardiola would have a hard job with this lot. Good job the prices are frozen for next season.

Well, if we let him go, we will owe him £6M as a going away gift, since his contract is 18 months at £115k/week. I don't see us doing that. And I don't see him walking away on his own and leaving that money on the table. So my bet is he will be here through 2018-19.

Curious why you think that? I expect he has more table points per unit of player wages than any manager in the PL the last few years. I reckon if the club gave him solid players, he would do pretty well with them. Manager skills and table position do not tell anything close to the full story. Bournemouth are essentially a glorified MK Dons with lower attendance. The fact they have stayed up this long to me, is a feat for which Howe deserves much credit.

If he isn't, he will milk everton of millions.The fact he agreed to an 18 month deal in the 1st place tells you his contract is 'claused' to death.I like the fact we have money at the club, but I hate the road we are heading down.There is so many people around the club that just shouldn't be anywhere near it.
